After a dose of conventional (immediate-release) oral oxycodone, the onset of action is 10 to 30 minutes, [11] [9] and peak plasma levels of the drug are attained within roughly 30 to 60 minutes; [11] [9] [74] in contrast, after a dose of Oxycontin (an oral controlled-release formulation), peak plasma levels of oxycodone occur in about three ...

It is addictive, a commonly abused drug, [2] [9] [10] and poses a high risk of physical and/or mental dependence. [11] [12] Analgesia occurs within 32 minutes of oral administration, and lasts for 4–6 hours. [13] It is taken by mouth, and is available in immediate-release and controlled-release formulations.

Acute use (1–3 days) yields a potency about 1.5× stronger than that of morphine and chronic use (7 days+) yields a potency about 2.5 to 5× that of morphine. Similarly, the effect of tramadol increases after consecutive dosing due to the accumulation of its active metabolite and an increase of the oral bioavailability in chronic use.
